  While surfing in Youtube, I found this masterpiece.....It is amazing how many unknowns are yet to be found, how many jewels are hidden.......It is a joyful experience.

  The concert took place on May 21, 2013, and I was late for tickets. It was sold out very quickly. It has been a big loss. 10 days later, the Gezi happened. There were police violence just in front of the door of babylon, the concert venue, literally the street you see at the beginning of the video. Now, looking at the concert in a different perspective. People are having fun, being sincere and peaceful. The concert is catching the spirit of the time at that point. It got worse and worse years later. This concert video is not just a recording of an amazing piece of performance, but, to me at least, is also a documentary. A documentary of the spirit and joy that can be seen in the eyes of youth, which we now consider nostalgia.<br><br>Maalouf gave another concert this year with the great Hiba Tawaji in an open air concert venue. However, neither the atmosphere nor the people were the same, as no man ever steps in the same river twice. <br><br>Thanks to those who uploaded the concert video. For the music and the feelings awoken.

  Je vais prendre un peu de temps pour vous écrire ces quelques lignes. Juste pour vous dire que ce concert a probablement sauvé ma vie, à un moment très difficile et douloureux ou j&apos;étais atteint d&apos;une affection grave des poumons, il m&apos;était quasiment impossible de respirer et je ne parvenais pas à empêcher les coup de couteaux que chaque respiration forte m&apos;infligeais, j&apos;ai donc réussi tant bien que mal a mettre mes airpods sur les oreilles et j&apos;ai écouté ce live en boucle pendant des nuits et des nuits de souffrance intenses, ce live magique m&apos;a permis de me calmer, de contrôler ma respiration et d&apos;apprécier chaque moment de communion avec le public. La musique a ce pouvoir de rassembler, d&apos;apaiser et de raconter une histoire à ceux qui veulent bien l&apos;entendre. Alors Cher MONSIEUR Ibrahim Maalouf, merci de m&apos;avoir apaisé et m&apos;avoir permis de ne pas avoir craqué pendant cette période. Aujourd&apos;hui encore quand j&apos;ai la chance d&apos;écouter un morceau de vous ou de voir une vidéo ou d&apos;assister à un de vos concerts j&apos;en ai les larmes aux yeux. Voila désolé pour le pavé mais j&apos;y tenais.

  This music both makes me believe in a better world and despair about the sad state of current affairs.

  I stumbled across this video thanks to a YT suggestion about a month ago. I was so blown away that I ended up traveling to Montreal from Kansas City just to see him live at the Jazz Festival. My wife and I were blown away by him and every musician that shared the stage with him. One of the best concerts we have ever been to. I hope to see him more in North America.

  I don&apos;t know - nor do I really care - what &quot;they&quot; call this kind of music, but to me this is the kind of &quot;jazz&quot; that really speaks - mainly, because the SOUND is powerful, percussive, sharp, and clear as opposed to the kind of &quot;smokiness&quot; that I tend to hear in some other forms of jazz. In my ears this sounds like jazz that grew another testicle without even asking if another was needed.

  I&apos;m watching this in September, 2020. This &nbsp;video hit me for two reasons.<br> Seeing the audience amazed by Maalouf&apos;s music, enjoying it together, with their loved ones... It made me really want to feel that magic of live music performance and share it with people. I wonder when I can do that again... &nbsp;However, this concert took place just a week after the &quot; Gezi Park&quot; events in Turkey. Some people call it a riot, it&apos;s controversial. People were protesting to prevent a historical park from being destroyed in Taksim, İstanbul. Then, this movement spread to other big cities, Ankara, İzmir etc. <br> I know Maalouf wrote &quot;Beirut&quot; to express the sorrow and the pain he felt while walking in the streets of Beirut, caused by the war. This music is about sorrow, pain and maybe fear. I&apos;ve seen that, the people in the room felt that sorrow in their own way, through their own recent experiences. When I realized that, I felt the need to share my observation here, because I thought the people whom this music touches should know what is underneath those faces, in the hearts of the people in that room.

  This is one of the most fascinating music videos that I’ve ever seen before. Harmonically and rhythmically, this performance is so complex yet balanced, so it makes you really fell the music itself.

  never heard this guy - or his band - before and I gotta say I&apos;m blown away! What an amazing concert, and so obviously connected to the hearts, minds, and bodies of the beautiful audience. A reminder of the intense spiritual power of live music as well it&apos;s capacity to rock us to the roots...
